Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 22, 1914.

Application filed April 24, 1913. Serial No. 763,339.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Oscar. Foam-2, residing at Hoquiani, in the county of Chehalis and State of \Vashington, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-I'langers, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to improvements in garment hangers and its object is to produce a device of this class that is simple in construction and operation and cheap to manufacture. 1

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in'the following specificatin, pointed out in the claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of said specification and in -which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved garment hanger. Fig. 2 is a view of the same in collapsed position. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 33 of Fig. 2.

.Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts .throughout the several views.

1 is a rod provided with terminal books 2, 2 and to said rod'a pair of arms 3, 3 are pivoted as at 4, the opposite end of each of said rods being provided with a pin 5 slidable in the slotted portion 6 of wings 7, 7 pivotally connected as at 8, 8 to a sliding hub 9 disposed upon the rod 1. The hub 9 is further provided with a spring or flexible member 10 andwith a pivoted latch 11 adapted for terminal engagement with said spring.

12 is a lug formed upon the rod 1.

E) is moved down into a position adjacent the lug 12 when the arms '3, 3 and wings 7, 7 are extended and the angulartermination 13 ot' the latch 11 rides into engagement with the said lug. The pins 5, 5 of the arms 3, 3 arenow at one end of slotted portions 6, 3 of the wings and the lug 12in combination with the hub 9 prevents further movement of the parts through gravitation and the Said lug in connection with the latch 11 pre rents the hub from being forced away from said lug. To collapse the device the latch 11 is manually pressed against the spring 10 until the angular extremity 13 is withdrawn from engagement with the lug, 12 when the arms and wings may be oscillated into the osition shown in Fig. 2.

' W hat is claimed is A garment hanger comprising a rod formed with terminal hooks and a lug, a hub slidable upon said rod, slotted wings pivotally secured to said hub, a latch pivot ally secured to said hub for releasable engagement with the aforesaid lug, a spring carried by said hub for frictional engagement with said latch, arms pivoted to the said rod and slidably connected to said wings through the said slots therein.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixedmy signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

OSCAR FOGDE.
